Periodic second order superlinear Hamiltonian systems (Q2515141)

Using linking and sandwich methods of critical point theory, the author proves several sufficient conditions for the existence of \(T\)-periodic solutions of second order systems of the form \[ - x''{} = B(t)x + \nabla_x V(t,x) \] when \(V(t,x) \geq (\lambda_{l-1}/2)|x|^2\) for some eigenvalue \(\lambda_{l-1}\) of the \(T\)-periodic problem for the linear part \(-x''{} _ B(t)x\), \(V(t,x)\) is superquadratic in \(x\) at infinity and \(V\) satisfies other conditions.
